🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Market Table items (gluten-free, with breads kept separate or clearly indicated)
  • Meats served tableside (generally gluten-free; confirm any marinades or sauces with staff)
  • Pão de Queijo / Brazilian cheese bread served at the table (gluten-free)
  • Crème brûlée (gluten-free in many accounts)
  • Mashed potatoes and other plain sides that are marked or described as GF
  • Seared or plain entrees that are labeled GF and brought to the table or buffet with allergen lists

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists if the kitchen handles gluten-containing items in shared spaces or tools.
  • Some items historically noted as non-GF include certain breads at the market table and a few meat preparations (e.g., certain chicken items or marinades with beer). Marinades and processing methods can vary by location and time.
  • Some desserts or processed sides may contain gluten; staff or allergen lists should be consulted to confirm safety.
  • Fried items (like polenta fries) can be prepared in shared fryers in some reports; asking for fryer practices is prudent.
  • The experience can be highly dependent on staff knowledge and adherence to allergen guides, so requesting the allergen booklet/list and having a manager walk you through the options remains important, especially for first-time visits or during busy times.
